Zebra | The Toothpaste Mini: Birthday Cake

My Review

Ingredients

Xylitol, Glycerin, Water, Hydrated Silica, Vanilla Extract, Calcium Carbonate, Natural Vanilla Flavor, Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Heptyl Glucoside, Xanthan Gum

*Their vanilla flavor is derived from real vanilla

Notes

If you’re curious, I broke down why I choose to avoid both hydroxyapatite HERE and fluoride HERE.

➡️ Hydrated silica and calcium carbonate are the main cleaning agents here. They work by physically removing buildup on the teeth, but are generally considered less aggressive than some of the harsher abrasives used in conventional formulas.

➡️ Xylitol is also important because it doesn’t feed cavity‑causing bacteria and is often used to help support a healthier oral environment.

➡️ The rest of the ingredients, like glycerin, cocoa butter, and coconut oil, are mainly there to control texture and consistency so the formula stays smooth, stable, and easy to use.

⭐️ This product is also third‑party tested for heavy metals (Prop 65), microbial contaminants, and packaging leaching, which adds an extra level of transparency that I really value.

About Zebra

⭐️ Fully transparent with ingredients, which is a big thing for me. Their whole concept is that ingredients should be “black and white,” meaning nothing hidden or confusing

⭐️ Created by a mom who started questioning ingredients after her child’s health challenges, which led her to dig deeper into how misleading many products can be

⭐️ Focused on avoiding labeling tricks or vague ingredient terms, which is honestly rare in this space

⭐️ Smaller, values‑driven brand focused on offering cleaner options without compromising performance

Made in the USA 🇺🇸  Zebra products are made in the USA, with the exception of dental floss and toothbrushes, which are produced in Italy
